Black R
Beautiful car, Black R. Superb photography. Congratulations on a superb acquisition.
Newbie here, catching up on the latest US Golf R news. Looking forward to getting one next spring or summer. It looks like US deliveries may be early 2012 and I always like the bugs worked out of a new model over a few months if not a year. The US cars will be made in Germany as I assume yours is. Have you had any issues?
I have always had a strong preference for two-seaters and hot hatches. The next hatchback on my list is a 3-door Golf R in Pearl Black. The DSG looks interesting, but apparently not available Stateside. I will prefer a manual transmission at this car's price point so no worries there. From what else I've read I'll add the Autobahn Package for a sunroof, navigation and upgraded sound system and I'll be good to go. I hope the Talledega wheels will be available. They look great on it.
Aftermarket upgrades will be tempting aside the warranty issue. Does anyone here yet know what if any performance parts VW dealers will have available that will honor the factory warranty?
New chip? Remapped ECU? Sport exhaust? Stiffer springs/ shocks?
